Lucy Orta, Body architecture

In a body of work spanning more than a decade, Orta has created a unique genre that transcends the boundaries of fashion, architecture, and traditional art practice. She debates and rethinks the traditional principles of social structures, introducing new ideas that have a profound engagement with society, urban planning, cultural heritage, and political and ecological policies. Her work reveals the extent to which perceptions of space play a crucial role in the construction of urban identity, whether it is condensed and compressed to serve individual needs or expanded to encompass the whole of society.
